Bootloader / fastboot on G510

2 posts in this topic

I've bought a G510 as a replacement phone if I break my current phone (which sometimes happens playing with it, and I can't always fix it the same day).

Now I wanted to unlock it. I'm pretty sure I got a locked bootloader, but I can't even check it with fastboot.

I'm holding voldown+power button for a few seconds, and the phone goes into some strange mode with a purple screen. Fastboot won't show the device in that state, and it never gets to any proper bootloader state.

Is that normal? I've requested an unlock code at Huawei, but I can't see how I should enter it without fastboot seeing the device and/or the screen being purple. Did I miss something?
